Top Five Sci-Fi Video Games
By Ames At long last, we have reached the end of our science fiction–themed blog series (mostly because I’ve run out of topics for the moment). And we’re wrapping things up with a bang (or a bunch of....

Burnham is constantly justifying why both she and Saru have to go on away missions because of her xenoanthropology and his linguistics, when they HAVE a linguistics expert on the DMA panel. Or Zora. Or a DOT. Or a tricorder. Stay home! #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek

If the EV suits only filter out materials that they're programmed to filter out and NOT unknown, alien substances, they are absolutely borked. Filter everything! #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek

Even if Species Ten-C communicates via piles of dust that make you feel good, that doesn't mean you don't need a control group when testing them out! Say no to dust. #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek

We're this close to the end of season 4 of #StarTrekDiscovery, in which Book continues to be the most (only?) compelling character on the show. #StarTrek

📖🛸 Take a look. It's in a book. Another planet. This week, we're comparing reading lists of our favorite sci-fi literature to snuggle up with and prepare for the odd alien invasion. 📖🛸

Top Five Sci-Fi Novels
By Ames This week we’re taking a hint from LeVar Burton and taking a look in a book (perhaps for a Reading Rainbow), and we’re loving what we peruse. While all the A Star to Steer Her By hosts admit.....

We need to figure out a way to understand Species 10-C in this week's #startrek Discovery episode "Rosetta", and what better way than taking big lungfulls of their planet?

Episode 424: Huffing the Love Dust
We've made it past the galactic barrier and no one's gotten tinfoil eyes so it looks like the mission is a go in

If #StarTrekDiscovery really wanted a famous director to make a guest appearance because everyone loved Werner Herzog in #TheMandalorian, David Cronenberg is a weird choice. He seems so disinterested in being here. #StarTrek

I feel it necessary to contextualize that this is in regard to #StarTrekDiscovery, not #StarTrekLowerDecks.

Season 4 of #StarTrekDiscovery is plodding along so slowly that it takes a full episode to do what "Where No Man Has Gone Before" accomplished in a hot minute. #StarTrek

Chris is finally beginning to see why the other hosts just aren't that into #StarTrekDiscovery. #StarTrek

Ohhhhhhh man this was a rough one. Almost nothing happens in "The Galactic Barrier" on #startrek Discovery this week, but there's some lingering Christmas, at least

Real talk from Caitlin: Should we just let Tarka and Book kerplode the DMA in #StarTrekDiscovery? We say probably. #StarTrek

We're more even shocked that Burnham remembered Nhan's name than we are that she showed up randomly in #StarTrekDiscovery. #StarTrek

Somehow Book is the Brains, the Muscle, AND the Looks of the operation, and Tarka is mostly the Wildcard. #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek

What else do Nhan from #StarTrekDiscovery and naan the bread have in common? They're both flat. #StarTrek

In "Rubicon" it's time to welcome back everyone's favorite crewmate! If by favorite you mean the woman who had the misfortune to utter one of the dumbest lines in the entire franchise's history... #startrek #startrekdiscovery #yumyum

Haz Mazaro and his casino, the Karma Barge, in "All In" are a damn delight. The constant spouting of alien idiom, the actor clearly having fun, the entrance through a hologram sea dragon—all fine touches! #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek

Caitlin's not a fan of Ruon Tarka this season, but the question is: Does she not like him because you're intended to not like him or because of bad writing? #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek

Nice to see that there are still Changelings in the 32nd century who are absolutely incompetent. Why turn into a tribble when you can just goo through a crack somewhere? #StarTrekDiscovery #StarTrek

Is Ames the only one who likes the Battlestar Galactica episode "Unfinished Business"? There's got to be more boxing episode fans out there.
